Description

Hi,

take this example: https://jsfiddle.net/mfvcu82y/7/

Groups of 3 items are shown, there are 7 items in total. The first time, when I drag from the far right to the left, the next group (4,5,6) is shown beatifuly. But the second time, halfway through my dragging to the left, the carousel suddenly jumps back (because there aren't more items to show)

It would be nicer if it allowed you to drag the carousel as far to the left as you want, then when you let go, bounce back to the available items

Research direction
Examine the carousel component source code, particularly the drag handling logic (likely in Carousel.vue or similar). Understand current behavior that limits drag to slide boundaries. Implement an option (e.g., dragFree or bounceBack) that allows unbounded dragging and bounce back animation on release. Reference similar carousel libraries like Swiper or Glide for implementation patterns.
